Welcome To Browns The Family Lawyers

Specialist Expertise | Personal Service

I care about quality. A lot. As Robert Pirsig said in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance “care and quality are internal and external aspects of the same thing. A person who sees quality and feels it as he works is a person who cares. A person who cares about what he sees and does is a person who’s bound to have some characteristics of quality”.

Quality in the law requires technical expertise, and the attention of a person who cares about your case. Not many law firms are capable of or prepared to deliver both. I am.

Another word which is important to me is alacrity, which has been defined as “a brisk and cheerful readiness.” I think a lawyer who cares about their clients should do their job with alacrity.

Closely related to my commitment to alacrity is my “no Hoo Ha policy”. “Hoo Ha” has been defined as a condition of agitation, disturbance, commotion or uproar, which is the last thing people need from their lawyer. Sadly, it is exactly what most family law solicitors provide. I don’t do Hoo Ha.

What They Say About Us

Browns The Family Lawyers were a lifesaver through an extremely difficult time in my life. Michael was genuine, calm and patient helping me through the complicated family law system. When going through an emotional and stressful separation it is invaluable to have a knowledgeable and level-headed legal representative in your corner. A painful process that was made significantly less painful. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

Ashleigh

Anyone who has been through divorce proceedings would most likely agree that it is an extremely difficult & anxiety inducing experience. I can express with 100% authenticity that having Michael Brown of Browns The Family Lawyers representing me helped me get through what was one of the most challenging chapters of my life. It soon became very clear to me that Michael was not only an expert in his field, but also very respected among all in the Federal Circuit Court. He was always one step ahead in ensuring everything was done to the highest standard possible, and was always professional, punctual & available. The results I obtained in my settlement far exceeded my expectations and I will be forever grateful to Michael for his services.

Michelle

Micheal has a thorough understanding of family law. I came to Michael at one of the worst times of my life, during a separation and then divorce; he helped me get a good and fair outcome. When difficult issues appeared, Michael managed the situation in a calm, authoritative manner. Michael is a lawyer that you can trust, I’ve referred friends to him.

Karen Finch

I was recommended Browns the Family Lawyers by a friend and I’m so glad that I chose them. I did meet with another solicitor, however, it’s crucial that you feel comfortable with your solicitor when dealing with sensitive matters such as family. Mr. Brown was there for me through the whole process. He answered all the questions I had and helped me through this stressful time. He ensured that I knew what was happening at every step of the way. This was so important to me, as when one goes through a rough period in their life, you can sometimes feel lost and Mr. Brown was there for me when I needed some help. Mr. Brown helped me with my family law matter, so that my son’s life would be stable and he wouldn’t miss out on anything with me.

Mr. Brown helped me in my time of need and recently again where I updated my Will, Appointment of Enduring Guardian and Power of Attorney. I am so grateful that I found Mr. Brown and I am also content that my future is taken care of. It gives me the peace of mind that I do not need to worry. I can never thank you enough Mr. Brown.
